Chapter 107 - One Hundred And Seven : Never See You Again (1/2)

Hi guys, due to a technical error while publishing this book, please refer back to chapter one hundred and six before coming over to this very chapter.

Maya's POV

”You don't need to nanny my daughter anymore, you're relieved of your services ”

His words rang continuously in my head. What did I just hear?.

I choked ” E-excuse me? ”

He glanced up, ”I want you to quit Maya ”

My spoon slipped from my grip and fell to the ground with a clatter while my mouth opened and closed helplessly, it was obvious I was shocked to the core. So in one word, he was trying to say I'm fired from my nanny duties?

”But my contract - ”

”I'll take care of the contract and compensate you for all damages since I'm the one that breached it this time ” His words flowed freely and firm as if he had practiced this line for a long time.

Was that what he was thinking all this time, how to get rid of me?

”I-I … ” I tried to speak but words couldn't flow from my mouth.

I was still finding it hard to believe what I just heard. I would no longer nanny Isabella?.

” Why? ” I asked, my voice thick with emotion.

Niklaus looked into my eyes and answered ”You know why Maya ”

The intensity of his words shook me and made me shiver, he was sending me away on purpose.

”Why? ” I snorted in disbelief, then taunted ” Because you know deep inside that you wouldn't be able to keep your lousy hands off me?”

His jaw was clenched tightly as he growled ” You know that's not entirely why ”

I laughed sarcastically ”Oh please spare me your lame excuse Niklaus ” my gaze hardened ”Don't you dare use Sakuzi as an excuse ”

”What are you trying to say? ” he asked, the tension in the room was increasing.

”Why are you behaving like a fool Niklaus? Why are you playing right into Sakuzi's hand? Do you think I don't know about the rules of Spencer's heir ?”

I watched him stiffen, then his brows came together ” Who told you about that? ”

”Why are you so damn curious when you never bothered to tell me in the first place? ”

”Eden ” he nodded his head as the truth finally dawned on him.Niklaus came up with the only person he knew wouldn't wait to expose that piece of information.

I gritted my teeth with my fist folded at my side. ”You knew Sakuzi would do little to nothing to me once I got married to you, yet… .”

I took a deep breath and calmed myself down before glancing around the environment.

Thankfully we were the only ones in the restaurant at the moment save the owner who was wise enough not to butt into our argument.

I heard about the rule from Isabella, truth be told. The little girl was knowledgeable about a lot of things her father doesn't even have a clue about.

Just like the Sakuzi clan, the Spencer Clan hardly allows one of their own to be maltreated by others.

Once you become a member of the Spencer by marriage, blood, or adoption, you're covered - they value their blood above any other thing. They could, and would wage war against anyone or clan that dares to touch one of their own.

With my voice lowered, I stretched my hands towards his and covered the top of his hand with mine, stroking it tenderly

”What's holding you back, Niklaus? ” I asked softly, this time hoping to get through to him.

His eyes rested on his hands I took in mine for a while before he withdrew his hands abruptly.

He instead said ” I will compensate you heavily for your services, you might not even have to work throughout your life ”

I snorted. Then a burst of joyless laughter was drawn from my mouth  ”Why does this scene look oddly familiar to the ones shown on television ”

I wiped away the tears that were forced out of my eyes as a result of laughing too much. ”Why would I not work for the rest of my life? Are you paying off your mistress? ”

He heaved ”Maya - ”

My eyes flashed with anger ”Fine! Since you're so rich, I want every single dime paid. For the breach, for every physical, psychological, and emotional pain I went through ”

”Maya -”

I interrupted him by standing up abruptly ”I hope this is the last time I ever see you ”

He stood up as well.

”Wait, Judy would give you a ride,” he said as soon as I turned on my heels but I ignored him.

”Maya! ” He grabbed my arm and whipped me around.

”Don't you ever dare touch me! ” I rebuked him, flinging his hand off me.

”Maya listen to me! ”
